Small Scottish distillery wins international award for wood-fired drink
A small Lowlands distillery has won gold for its wood-fired unaged spirit, scoring 96 points for its depth, clarity and character. A small Scottish distillery tucked away in the Lowlands has struck gold on the international stage, quite literally. Moffat Distillery, based in Dumfries and Galloway, is celebrating a major milestone after its Moffat Moonshine scooped a prestigious gold medal at the 2025 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC). The award comes just as the distillery prepares for its highly anticipated first whisky release. The unaged spirit, described by the distillery as a 'wood-fired, unaged spirit made entirely in Dumfries & Galloway ', earned an impressive 96 points, with judges praising its 'depth, clarity and character.' That's a remarkable result for what is essentially the debut offering from the fledgling distillery. 'This is a huge moment for our small team,' said founder Nick Bullard. 'Moffat Moonshine is where our journey begins, raw, honest and full of character. "We're proud it's been recognised on a global stage and we hope it puts our small but perfectly-formed corner of Scotland on the spirits map.' Moffat Distillery is no ordinary producer. It claims to be the first and only distillery in Scotland to heat its stills using wood fires, a method not seen in over 200 years. With an output of just 6,000 litres per year, the distillery prides itself on sustainable, small-scale production. Sharing their excitement in a social media post, the team wrote: 'We've just won a Gold medal! Our Moffat Moonshine has been recognised by the IWSC, a huge honour for our wee distillery. 'This is a win not just for us, but for everyone who's supported us along the way, from those who've shared a dram, to our brilliant partners at Crisp Malt, WHC Lab, and Camlachie Cooperage.' The award-winning Moffat Moonshine has been bottled at two strengths, 48.5% and a fiery cask strength of 61.25% ABV. Distilled in the open air, the team say each run carries its own unique character, with the spirit matured in ex-Oloroso Sherry casks for just seven months. 'Not wanting to drown our own spirit's character in sherry, we decided to bottle the fiery potion when we felt it was ready,' the distillery says on its website.

While Moffat Moonshine has stolen the spotlight for now, the distillery is also no stranger to blended malts. In 2018, it released The Moffat Blended Malt Scotch, and more blends from its Local Dram series are on the way. These unique creations are developed in close collaboration with local people, drawing on regional culture, history, geography and language to produce a dram that truly reflects the character of its community. 'We create unique recipes,' the distillery explains. 'We source our spirit directly from producers, avoiding the secondary market, since consistency and authenticity of supply are vital to the brand.' All bottling is currently done under contract, and each blend is dressed in bespoke packaging designed by a local artist, echoing the spirit of the community behind it.

EastEnders legend conned into new business venture
Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) has been left mortified after signing into a new business partnership with her EastEnders enemy Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman). In scenes that aired earlier this week, Harvey eyed up a new venture when his mate Cheeky tried to flog him his old limousine. Planning to retire, he needed rid of the vehicle – which would be perfect for weddings and flashy events – but Harv' couldn't get his hands on the funds. Even girlfriend Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) couldn't help, much to Kat's hilarity. However, when the cab office owner discovered that he was attempting to poach some of her drivers for the investment, she set about shutting down his plans and buying the car herself. Harvey had considered teaming up as her business partner, but that wasn't something Kat was prepared to entertain. In tonight's episode, Kat and partner Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) were already planning a huge publicity campaign to advertise the limo, despite not signing on the dotted line. Cheeky paid them a visit and said he'd received an offer, though would only accept hers if she could get the money to him by the end of the day in cash. Having had a sudden brainwave, she raced over to Phil Mitchell's (Steve McFadden) house and asked for an advance on their divorce settlement. A reluctant Phil agreed, knowing that Kat wouldn't give in until he caved. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

More Trending Sounds suspicious… Of course, this wasn't the case, and when the purchase went through, Kat was beyond furious to discover who she had teamed up with. Harvey was equally as angry, and the two looked on in disbelief as they contemplated how they would be able to move forward. View More » Will the pair be able to work harmoniously?

Condom nearly 200 years old goes on display in Amsterdam museum
Bosses at the Rijksmuseum say it 'depicts both the playful and the serious side of sexual health', merging art with the city's infamous Red Light District. A museum in Amsterdam has began displaying a nearly 200-year-old condom as part of a new exhibition. Bosses at the Netherlands' national museum say the object merges art with the city's infamous Red Light District. The Rijksmuseum said in a statement the playful prophylactic, believed to be made around 1830 from a sheep's appendix, 'depicts both the playful and the serious side of sexual health'. It is part of an exhibition called Safe Sex? about 19th century sex work that opened on Tuesday. The condom, possibly a souvenir from a brothel, is decorated with an erotic image of a nun and three clergymen. The phrase 'This is my choice' is written along the sheath in French. According to the museum, this is a reference to the Pierre-Auguste Renoir painting The Judgment of Paris, which depicts the Trojan prince Paris judging a beauty contest between three goddesses. The condom is on display until the end of November. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.
